We recently started offering cooking classes to patients that are in treatment for obesity, anorexia, bulimarexia, or binge eating disorder. During the class, participants pick up basic cooking tips for preparing “clean” luscious tasting dishes, dressings, marinades, and soups. A few weeks ago we made Gluten-free Bacon (or Mushroom) Quiche. Check out the video below to see how we made it!

In my experience, clients that are in treatment for bulimia, binge eating disorder, anorexia or bulimarexia are typically faced with an increased risk of inadequate nutrition. To this end, I try to provide my clients and readers nutritious and delicious recipes to enjoy both during and after their recovery journey at ‘The Norton Center for Eating Disorders & Obesity’.

Eating healthy can be quick and easy once you get the hang of it. The key is in the planning. When you get into the habit of having the right ingredients on hand, meal preparation is a breeze, not a source of agony.

This recipe for quiche has a cauliflower crust that is awesome, and it is loaded with good fat and gluten free!

Gluten-free Bacon (or Mushroom) Quiche Crust

Ingredients:
2 cups grated cauliflower* (Use stems of florets, but not green parts The easiest way to grate cauliflower is to do it in a food processor using the grating blade. If you do not have one, a cheese grater works. The idea is to use as much of the head as possible. It should look like snow when you are done.)
2 eggs
1 cup organic coconut flour
a pinch of salt, pepper, italian herbs
1/2 c shredded organic, grassfed mozzarella or provolone cheese (grate your own please)
1/2 c grassfed butter
1/2 Trader’s Point Whole Milk, or any raw/lightly pasteurized, organic, grassfed milk
1 cap of garlic juice

Microwave cauliflower for 3 minutes and drain well. Do not add water! Let it cool completely.

Now you have to wring it out – if you don’t, it won’t work! Just put it in a clean dish towel and squeeze out the excess liquid.

Mix all remaining ingredients with cauliflower to form the dough.

Form into a ball and roll out or simply press it into a 9″ glass pie dish.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake pie shell for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven; lower the temperature to 325 degrees.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon (or mushroom in grass-fed butter) over medium heat, stirring often, until crisp, about 5 minutes; using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.

Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper as well garlic juice to the bacon fat in the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer the onion to the baked pie shell.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the cream using a mixer; stir in the cheese (sautéed mushroom) and the cooked bacon.

Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Bake until set, about 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
